If you’re new to robotics or have taken robotics in the past, this class has something for everyone. This intense nine week robotics class will include eight weeks of creating customized robots culminating in a competition on week nine. Students will program apps on a Wi-Fi-enabled android device to control their robots. Each student will build a robot with interchangeable parts, with flashing lights, moving motors, wheels, levers and arms. Innovation and creativity are required. For best success, students will take home the robot to build, modify, and tweak each week.

New! Online ACT Prep Course

UW- Fond du Lac's Online ACT Prep Course empowers students to prepare for the ACT on their own time. This prep course offers a great option for students who want 24/7 access and a more flexible schedule.

Begin the course by taking an online pre-test to determine what areas you should focus your efforts on and then take up to five months to complete the self-paced course. Even if you need to prepare for the ACT test sooner, you have that flexibility and also the opportunity to continue the prep since you have access anytime within the five months. The course allows you work on modules and receive immediate feedback from quizzes for each of the five test sections. When you have completed the lessons, you’ll take another online assessment that will assess how much you’ve improved.Tuition: $165Enrollment is ongoing, contact fdlce@uwc.edu or 920-929-1155 to get started!The ACT must be scheduled separately by visiting www.actstudent.org

Suzuki Violin

September 8, 2014 - May 8, 2015

Director: Gloria Schroeder

Children learn to play the violin using the ‘Mother Tongue approach’ (also known as the Suzuki Method) developed by Shinichi Suzuki. Parents are an integral part of this method. They are required to attend weekly private and group lessons with their children, learn to play the ‘Twinkle’ variations, play the recorded music daily and practice with their children daily. Each student will receive a weekly private lesson and a group class lesson. There will be recitals and opportunities to play for the public.
